Framing

Our frames are produced from the best quality wood, primarily
from Italy. Each is custom cut and assembled by hand to fit your art.
Hanging hardware included!

THIN GALLERY FRAME

This modern profile was designed for artists and photographers.
Narrow on the front and deep on the sides, our slim mouldings provide
a clean, sharp frame for your art, and allows all focus to be on your
gorgeous work.

3/4" wide; 1 1/8" deep

UV - PROTECTIVE ACRYLIC

Our acrylic is more expensive than glass, but we use it because it’s
clearer, far more impact resistant, and protects your art against UV rays.
Framing-grade acrylic has become a new standard in framing because of
its “clear” benefits.

THE FULL BLEED

Works are framed flush with the edge of your print without a mat.
Request border modifications and spacers, which keep the work from
touching the glass.

THE MAT

Adds a white core mat with a bevel cut opening to the edge of your
print. If your work has a signature or edition numbering, we will
automatically mat around it unless otherwise specified.

THE FLOAT

Floating a piece allows for a full view of the face and sides of the
artwork. Floating is recommended for original drawings and paintings
or any piece produced on specially trimmed paper.

About Matt McCormick

Matt McCormick is a multimedia artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. His work assimilates a diversity of cultural influences culled from the American West into an artistic vision that is as unique and dynamic as the topography itself. Within McCormick’s various bodies of work, seemingly incompatible elements cohabitate with ease, reflecting the conflicting histories of California. Ruminating on the striking contrast between present day downtown Los Angeles and the physical inheritance of the Wild West, his works are populated with dejected and disposable objects infused with the vibrant cultural legacy that remains as alive today as ever before.

CV

“When I step back and look at the work that I have created and continue to create, I find myself viewing the work in the same way I would listen to an old traveling hymn. For me using marks on the chosen canvas has become the easiest way to tell my story, but in doing so I strive to tell the story in a way that allows the viewer to become entrenched in and potentially make the story their own. Whether it be a cinematic landscape with an almost alien stillness, void of any explicit reference to the human form or a crudely sketched charcoal rendering of an austere cowboy accompanied by ambiguous text referencing a forgotten moment, I want to cut to the core of human emotion in a way that even the most closed-off individuals can relate to, even if only in the privacy of their own minds.

The work acts as a diary of sorts, sometimes being documented in real time, and other times looking back with a matured eye. Occasionally it acts as a collage of the past, and at other times, a blueprint for the future.” - Matt McCormick
